I have been lousy in the last few years about getting in here on December 8th.
So, belatedly, here I go:
Happy Birthday, Gregg Allman. You would have been 71 on December 8, and I sorely wish you were here to celebrate that birthday. You gave meaning to my life and a way to escape everything I hated.
Happy Birthday, Jim Morrison. You would have been 75 on December 8, but you never even came close. Rock 'n roll came along and stole your poetic heart and broke it.
John Lennon - you were killed on December 8, 1980. 38 years later I still shake my head and wonder why anyone would want to kill a man who dedicated his life to bringing about a peaceful world. You were ragged and you were real.
